More No.1 Ladies Detective Agency episodes on tv

I've seen the trailer for the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency film that's going to be on the BBC over Easter (Monday I think). I can't find a version online yet. But I did find that there are plans for a further 13 hour-long episodes. From Hollywood.com:

HBO has retained the services of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

The cable network has ordered 13 hour-long episodes based on the best-selling crime books by Alexander McCall Smith, with shooting to begin in the summer. That's in addition to the two-hour pilot that Anthony Minghella recently shot in Botswana from a script he wrote with Richard Curtis.

I think it's on Easter Monday, no doubt clashing with Stargate: Ark of Truth, on Sky :-). I read the first couple of books and have switched to audio for the rest. Excellent commuting fare on the busy trains. Not too taxing. I have the paperback of Good Husband of Zebra Drive on my library tbr as the audio is not out yet and the narrator has changed which will be a bit of a shock to the ears!
